If you are a novice trader or experienced trader, you will find value in the software and classes that will help you along your journey to enhance your trading proficiency. VP is also a company that gives back to help out in the community they serve supporting many local agencies that help others.

Online class experience.
All the online classes I attend are very informative and give excellent ideas in the use of the Vantage Point software. VP instructors are very knowledgeable and always willing to answer questions pertaining to the software. Would like to see more on how to use the software in options trading.

Looking at the bag as well as good
On January 13, 2025 I attended a webinar for vantage point was excited to see more about it was hoping that they would show some real time. Data wasn’t expecting anything current but at least maybe something a week a month old so I could see the AI in action I followed along using my phone and my trading platform to take a look at what they were showing most of it was only a week old, but the graph and candlesticks did not align with what I saw on my phone sorry I was skeptical after the webinar proceeded to check it out further found this site looked at the good and the bad reviews. A lot of people talk about pushy shells people if the system is good you don’t need anybody to push it for sales. It’s like a restaurant that shows up in town if the food is good , the place is gonna be packed will get around that they have the best food in town. My opinion is they may have some good points, but I don’t think it’s worth it.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We appreciate the time you took to attend our complimentary live class on the markets. However, we'd like to clarify a few points to ensure your concerns are addressed accurately.
It appears your review is based on a mix of personal observations during the live webinar and conclusions drawn from extremely selective samplings, rather than firsthand experience with the software. We encourage anyone interested in understanding the value of VantagePoint to take advantage of our free one-on-one market forecasting sessions. This personalized experience allows you to ask specific questions, see the A.I. in action, and compare the software’s insights to your preferred trading tools in real time. Our team would have been happy to help clarify whatever you may have been seeing on your mobile device versus charts, and verify what you're seeing is either accurate or inaccurate, during a personalized session.
Finally, we firmly believe in having dedicated A.I. representatives help potential VantagePoint Family Members understand the complexities and unique capabilities of VantagePoint. Trading can be a significant investment, and we want to ensure individuals have all the information needed to make informed decisions.
We'd love the opportunity to connect again and provide you with a more comprehensive experience, and perhaps you'd reconsider this rating. Please reach out to schedule your free personalized forecasting session. We’re confident it will help address any skepticism and provide a clearer picture of what VantagePoint can do for both you and your trading. We wish you success!

total scam
total scam. the AI stuff is just marketing. only end of day data which you have to pay 30 bucks per month. no intraday analysis capabilities.
the best part is this: they do not allow you to transfer your license which you payed for life...

Proven AI Technology: Our A.I.-powered software uses dual-patented technology to forecast market trends with up to 87.4% proven accuracy. This is based on analyzing global intermarket relationships, not just marketing claims. We were the first company in the world to bring A.I. to independent traders, going all the way back to 1991. Over 40,000 traders have used VantagePoint to make more informed decisions and improve their outcomes.
Intraday Trading: VantagePoint is primarily designed for swing and position traders, utilizing data to provide predictive forecasts 1 - 3 days in advance. This strategic approach aligns with our mission to empower traders with actionable insights, but we also have many day traders who take advantage of our price range predications and other market forecasting data.
License Policy: Our lifetime license model offers exceptional value, granting you perpetual access to the software. As with most software licenses, it is non-transferable to protect the integrity of the product and our other VantagePoint Family Members.
Monthly Data Fee: The monthly data fee you mentioned covers acquisition of high-quality, up-to-date data essential for our forecasts. This is a standard practice across the industry.
We're committed to transparency and excellence. If you’d like to discuss your concerns further or reconsider your opinions and join the VantagePoint Family, as you are not currently a VantagePoint user, our world-class Support Team is here to assist you. Please reach us at 1-800-732-5407.

No test drives, not inexpensive and not for every investor
VP is for the investor who can understand the market; it's terminology, mechanics, it's not for the novice. I don't think one has to be computer savvy. But you have to like computer work. As a small business owner who uses business bookkeeping programs, VP isn't tap a button for results. The success I had with paper trades gave me confidence to explore real trades were I took a substantial loses. VP offers assistance in coaching with a personal trainer, live online as well a$ weekend training at VP home base. There is a monthly fee to keep using the software. I haven't given up on VP, but I don't have the time to sit on my computer to not understand how to be successful. I've gone back to my old strategy and I'm up 75% in the last three months after losing 50% in the two years I've owned, well partnered with VP. You don't own VP if you can't sell it.

Thank you for sharing your experience. We've attempted to reach out and offer additional trainings and assistance a number of times, but we have not yet heard back. We're still here to support you, should you choose. We do appreciate feedback and would like to clarify a few points.
VantagePoint is designed for traders looking to enhance their market analysis and strategies with the power of A.I.-driven forecasts. While it does require a basic understanding of market principles, our goal is to support traders of all experience levels through personalized coaching, live training sessions, and ongoing education to help them get the most from the software.
Unlike traditional 'trial' software, VantagePoint is a specialized A.I. forecasting tool that provides dual-patented and proprietary insights. To ensure traders understand its full potential, we do offer live demonstrations and educational sessions before any investment. And after investment, we provide numerous opportunities with coaches and live sessions to continue education and familiarity, and provide unlimited access to our Learning Center.
You’re absolutely right — VantagePoint isn’t an "autopilot" system. It provides highly accurate forecasts, but like any trading tool, it works best when combined with sound trading strategies and risk management. Many VantagePoint Family Members find leveraging both the 1-on-1 coaching and group training resources we provide to be most helpful.
However, we understand every trader has unique needs, and our team is always here to help if you decide to revisit how VantagePoint can complement your approach.
If you’d like additional guidance on how to better integrate A.I.-driven forecasts into your trading, please don’t hesitate to reach out. We truly appreciate you being part of the VantagePoint Family and are here to support you.

A Painful Sales Experience and Overhyped Claims
I recently attended a webinar for VantagePoint's trading software, and what followed was one of the most frustrating sales experiences I’ve ever encountered. After the webinar, I received two back-to-back calls from sales representatives who used cliché and irritating sales tactics like, “What would you do with all the trading profits you'll make with the system?” It felt incredibly pushy and unprofessional.
I had to reschedule for work reasons, but the next day was no better. I joined a Teams presentation on the software, and it turned out to be just as bad, if not worse. The rep spent most of the time making obnoxious, overblown claims about the software’s accuracy while pushing overpriced packages. When I politely explained I had to leave for work, the rep turned aggressive, insisting I choose a package on the spot. I reiterated that I wanted time to think it over, but he wouldn’t let it go. When I thanked him for the presentation, he snapped at me, claiming I “obviously didn’t appreciate the presentation” because I didn’t purchase anything immediately. This was completely out of line, and I ended the call right then and there.
Being skeptical, I decided to dig into their claims, particularly their so-called "Independent Third-party Accuracy Study of VantagePoint." For context, I hold a Ph.D. in business with a minor in applied statistics, so I know how to evaluate accuracy claims critically. Here’s what I found:
#### Directional Matches for Typical Price Predictions:
- For Apple Inc., the directional match accuracy of VantagePoint’s predictions was 64.71%, compared to 60.00% for a naive model.
- This is a meager improvement of just 4.71%, far from the groundbreaking performance their sales team claims. Accuracy improves with the use of their set of proprietary indicators (which you will have to purchase and which were mentioned during their initial sales pitch).
#### Trade-offs in Signed Forecasts:
- While VantagePoint reduces directional bias slightly, the standard deviation of errors (e.g., 2.37 vs. 2.47 for Apple) shows little improvement. For a system touted as revolutionary, these gains are unimpressive.
#### Challenges with Volatile Markets:
- In highly volatile scenarios, like Shopify or REX, their so-called Neural Index accuracy dipped to as low as 57.48%, barely outperforming random guessing.
#### Disappointing Short-Term Crossover Performance:
- The short-term crossover success rate for VantagePoint predictions was 63.11%, only 5.46% better than a simple standard crossover system (57.65%).
- When additional filters (like the Neural Index) were applied, the success rate increased only slightly, to 64.14%, a marginal 1.03% gain.
- Notably, the naive model outperformed VantagePoint in 16% of cases, with some markets showing differences of up to 11.6% in favor of the naive model.
#### Additional Warning:
The pricing is absurd. Packages start at $2,900 for just a single sector (out of 16). If you want all equity sectors, you’re looking at over $10,000. And that’s not all—VantagePoint’s accuracy report mentions “proprietary indicators,” but you will likely have to purchase these separately after the initial investment! Expect some aggressive upsell sales techniques once you're on the hook.
I also did some digging on forums and found troubling accounts from former sales employees. They confirmed that reps are heavily incentivized to pressure customers into giving their credit card numbers upfront, only to upsell additional products later. This is the only way to come even close to the accuracy claims advertised.
No trial? No problem? Think again. You’ll have only 14 days to cancel your purchase—no trial is offered at all. If this doesn’t scream “sketchy,” I don’t know what does.
In short, VantagePoint’s software offers, on average, minimal improvements over basic prediction models while being paired with an overpriced and aggressive sales pitch. The entire experience left me frustrated, insulted, and skeptical. If you’re considering this software, I strongly recommend you take their claims with a grain of salt and do your own thorough research before spending a dime (>$10K for any reasonable assortment of equities).

Calling all Traders
Traders, I have been at this for well over 30 years. It's only the last 10 that I have taken things into my own hands. In an effort to improve my results, I have donated lots of money learning the hard way as well as spend a Kings Ransome on the many programs that are out there. Recently I stumbled upon Vantage Point AI predictive software. It has the power to use the many years of stored information in it's data base to look ahead and predict 1-3 days in advance as to what you can expect a Stock, Commodity, Forex etc. to do with 87% proven accuracy! True story. They have many indicators that let you know what to expect in advance. They don't just sell you the software. Weekly, you connect with your Trading Coach. He takes control of your computer and explains exactly how to read and use the different indicators to come up with a good idea of exactly what you can expect to happen. Don't spend another Dollar on any programs until you have watched the Vantage Point AI free video. You will be glad that you did.
